These are Rob Carlson's Election 2002 Picks. See the Election 2002 results for what actually happened.

I'll be e-mailing, telephoning and postal mailing everyone who will be on the ballot for Baltimore County's 5th District and up to find out their positions and why they'd like to be elected this November. Based on those conversations, I'll be filling out the blanks in my endorsement list leading up to Election Day.

There won't be a lot for other districts except for the incumbents who have been good to me from Maryland's 7th and visible candidates from other states who I'm familiar with. If you're doing any background research in your own district and would like to have your endorsements featured on my site as well, just e-mail me with a list or a link.
